  Hello,

  I was going to create a computed column based of course upon the values in three other columns. Of the four (the fourth being the computed column) involved 3 are defined as time(7). The fourth is tinyint. The formula is quite simple. (A*B)+C = Answer.

  So

  ColumnA time(7)

  ColumnB tinyint

  ColumnC time(7)

  ColumnAnswer time(7)

  My formula is like this:

  (([ColumnA] * [ColumnB]) + [ColumnC])

  The error...time is incompatible with tinyint.

  So am I going to have to move this to a udf and even then not sure what I would CAST / CONVERT to accomplish the multiplication??

  Pointers would be greatly appreciated

  So to add to this I have written the following in SSMS:

  DECLARE @a time(0)

  DECLARE @b-2 tinyint

  DECLARE @C time(0)

  SET @a = 0:1:30'

  --Well this won't do because I need everything in seconds to do the math sooo...

  DECLARE @Aseconds int

  SET @Aseconds = (DATEPART(HOUR, @a) * 3600) + (DATEPART(MINUTE, @a) * 60) + (DATEPART(SECOND, @a))

  SELECT @Aseconds * @b-2

  --then convert it back to time to add @C

  SELECT CONVERT(varchar, DATEADD(ms, @Aseconds * 1000, 0), 114)

  --Now dateadd each part really?? should I do this in .NET instead?

  Give us a clue what you are trying to achieve, because multiplying a time doesn't make sense.
